Snow Peak Fireplace Pit Review

Reviewing the new Snow Peak Portable Fireplace starter kit.

The cast iron fire grate that you purchased is for “charcoal” or “heat beads”. Snow Peak makes a much smaller one that fits lower in the fire place and allows room for firewood.

You could also get the floga to fit a lot more wood.

the tray will be handy in sand or dirt when it comes to stability

[@davidgriffith6627]

The extension walls you mention, (Floga®️), are to create a gasification effect. I think Snow Peaks recommends against cooking with the Floga®️ installed.

the cast iron grill is for warp ... if you put the coal / wood direct to the SST wall they will warp .

You would have been happier with a camping moon variety. The weight is a big reason why I picked the one I did. I only car camp but I'm a small woman and by the time I've lugged everything else I'm tired and sore and don't want to have to fight to cook. I got a large one that weighs 10lbs. I can cook all the meat and veg I want easily and my son can even help because I bought a basket thing that eliminates the need for individual flipping. Edited to add: I don't mess with cast iron away from home. I don't trust me to not drop it tired because even the tiny little tea sized pans are heavy. They would probably break a kids oven.
